Eldritch Scion

Unlock the secrets of the Eldritch Scion archetype in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Learn about spontaneous casting, bloodlines, and unique abilities.

Alright, let's talk about the Eldritch Scion in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. This archetype is a bit different from other Magus types because it's a spontaneous caster, meaning spells just flow out of you rather than being meticulously prepared. Think of it like a Sorcerer, but with a more martial focus.

Your main stats to focus on will be Dexterity and Charisma. Dexterity helps with hitting things and dodging attacks, while Charisma fuels your spellcasting. Unlike other Magus, you'll be picking a bloodline, which is super important – it gives you extra spells and cool abilities. You'll also be using something called an Eldritch Pool instead of the usual Arcane Pool, which is your resource for special abilities.

For how many spells you know, the Eldritch Scion follows the same progression as a Bard. Here's a breakdown of what you get as you level up:

Keep in mind that on top of all this, your chosen bloodline will grant you additional spells and abilities as you level up. For instance, some bloodlines might give you wings at level 15! You won't get the same bonus feats that a Sorcerer would, but the bloodline spells are a great trade-off. These bloodline spells usually show up at levels 3, 5, 7, 10, 13, and 16.
